Hello BOTL!
My name is John, I'm from Pennsylvania. My curiosity with cigars started with my grandfather. He was always puffing on Optimo's or Bering's back in the day, and even only being around the age of 10...i thought dang gramps looks so relaxed and chill enjoying his cigars. After he passed in the early 90's, I was a little more grown up, and decided to try a few dry cured Italian cigars. Wow what a mistake!..lol those things were pretty nasty. I though to myself how could he be relaxed smoking a cigar. Well to make a long story short after high school my parents went and started a small tobacco shop. I went on to college to fulfill my passion with technology. Smoked a few Te-Amo's and Macs throughout my college years nothing too much. My senior year at college was when i realized that i no longer had the passion for technology that i once enjoyed, got my degree in MIS. I used to help out at my parents shop here and there between interviewing for jobs. My dad left me in charge of managing our premium cigars on summer and that was it, hooked to say that least...lol!
I thought to myself how am i ever going to learn more about cigars? I figured that i'd better start smoking..lol! That was it been enjoying them the last 9 years or so, with friends and family.
